Already reading reports that iOS9 updates are failing. Just wait people, or download from you pc/mac. Don't even bother with OTA updates.

Does it have a "significant bug" too? They should just pull it. Like they pulled Watch OS 2 release.

So I have a reservation Friday the 25th for two Iphone 6s Plus's - Both Gold and 64GB, but unlocked - One is CDMA and the other is GSM. Im on ATT. My Iphone 6 Plus is a Verizon which basically works on every network (they can it could always change, blah, blah). Im debating whether to get the CDMA or the GSM on the 25th. Both will work with ATT but the GSM is more made for ATT I guess. Not sure.

Also, I can pick up the other phone and try to sell it. Anyone interested? I can also try to sell my reservation in the line at apple. lol

This is the truth, for sure. However, I do love the minimal nature of the 6 Apple case.

Apparently, certain manufacturers are advertising their cases work across the 6 and 6S product lines. Of course, Apple isn't one of those case companies.

Their silicone cases suck. 6 months in and the thing started peeling. It's a common issue with the case, and I'm not even hard with it.
Thankfully I brought it to the Apple Store and they replaced it for free even thou it's past the return period.

I may go with a magpul case or urban armor.

Yup I honestly wouldn't have bothered with the mini 3. Same internals as the 2. Just added Touch ID and apple pay basically.

Mini 4 has the same internals as the iPad Air 2. Except the CPU is an A8 @ 1.5ghz vs A8X of the Air 2.

Pull down to refresh in chrome doesn't work anymore though.

Typical Apple/ Google sabotage.

I had a magpul field and bump case with my iPhone 5, great case, cheap and made in the USA

That said, their field cases suck, the polymer they use loosens up over time. Their bump case on the other hand. Fantastic.
